AI agents call list_sdwan_health_checks to retrieve information from Fortimanager without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves health check monitor data from FortiManager without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal blast radius—even if misused by an AI agent, it only exposes monitoring configuration information without side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_sdwan_health_checks' and description 'List SD-WAN health check monitors' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or execution of external operations.

{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_sdwan_health_checks": {}
}
